Photo of the Week – December 15, 2016

From time to time, I like to use this blog to provide important public service information. Today, I am attempting to fill an important gap in the bank of available prairie ecology images. I looked and looked online but was unable to find any photos of insects on prairie dog poop.

Well, this should make you eligible for a special sweatshirt from the National Mustard Museum-see attached, and you can order here (I don’t know what size you need) and if you have never visited the place, it’s worth the trip, plus there’s a good restaurant on the same block with great pies.

Great post–and who knows what lurks in prairie dog poop?
